V52.6: Occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle : passenger injured in traffic accident

The medical condition described by the ICD-10 code V52.6 refers to an injury sustained by a passenger in a pick-up truck or van as a result of a traffic accident involving a two- or three-wheeled motor vehicle, like a motorcycle or scooter. Such injuries vary greatly depending on factors like the speed of the collision, the safety equipment used, and the physical condition of the affected individual. They can cause damage to multiple systems in the body, from minor scrapes and bruises to severe trauma affecting the skeletal system, nervous system, and vital organs. The symptoms, therefore, may range from pain, swelling, and visible wounds to unconsciousness, difficulty breathing, or loss of function in part of the body. Since the injuries associated with this code are due to a sudden and unexpected external event, they are classified as traumatic and can often require immediate medical attention.
